Hello,

We use the proxy protocol with our openldap 2.5 servers (pldaps). I noticed that client binaries allow pldaps as protocol in the host address option starting with 2.5, but how can I add proxy headers to the request to communicate with my servers ?

I think that there might be something with '-o' that I'm not aware of.

Hi Jérôme, the PROXY protocol is for a (trusted) proxy to indicate that a request has come from a different address. The command line clients do nothing of the sort so they won't and can't send the preamble to the server. A server should (also) listen on a non-pldap socket if clients are supposed to be able to talk to it directly.
